Here is additional information on sex, violence and profanity in Save The Last Dance...

Overall: C- An attempt to look at mixed relationships through the eyes of African American characters. Nothing profound is explored; both the acting and writing are average. The language, sex, and violence, as well as the disrespectful attitudes towards the law can hardly be justified by this stereotypical teen romance.

Violence: C Teens carrying guns; two drive-by shootings; car catches on fire; fist-fighting and kicking during two brawls with minor bleeding injuries; clawing and scratching fight between female characters; male character slaps and threatens two female characters; bloody head of dead woman.

Language: D Included one sexual expletive, at least 50 moderate and 20 mild profanities, several terms of Deity used as expletives—some by a religious character portrayed as fanatical.

Alcohol / Drug Use: C Although smoking and drinking were only seen occasionally, and drug use was implied, not shown—this film casually portrays teens purchasing alcohol and attending bars using falsified identification.
